About our worktop repair in Stand
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are damage to a stone worktop and cuts and scratches in the surface.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Stand: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Bury, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
Repairing versus replacing in Stand
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
